--------------------------------------------------------------
Matt, I believe Roman was aiming at contributors being able to mix and match versions, not
really users. I don't see how users would be able to do so and I personnaly see Bigtop as
a coherent stack instead of a kit to build stacks (although nothing prevent anyone from selecting
their own favourite downstream versions).
Even if Bigtop components would not specify any dependencies, there would still be some work
needed to make sure components compile against each others (for instance, doing a maven build
on hbase, would pull hadoop from its default profile, not the one we want to exercise, so
the way a component is built may have to be tweaked) as well as testing their integration.
But mix-matching is only one of many benefits of such proposal.
